Are things going too far?

[Mr. Smith]

Republicans could've planned anything they wanted...they had no power. How did a party that controlled the White House and 59% of both houses of Congress manage to let Republicans "obstruct" them?

Well if you only needed 51 votes in the Senate to do stuff, you might have a point. But that isn't the case without gutting the filibuster.

Which really is what they should've done the minute that stimulus got mutilated. It's all too clear now.
